ABSTRACT
Landscape Architecture and Remediation Engineering are related fields, united by common areas of endeavor, yet they have strikingly different languages, techniques, and habits of thought. A professional from each discipline may stand at the same place, view the same site, and describe the site with different words that express a vastly different experience and professional perspective. While the landscape architect may interpret particular qualities of the land shaping the site through its contours and artifacts, the remediation engineer is concerned with groundwater flows and soil contaminant concentrations, human health and the environment.
